At Loch, we understand that every business is different. Our team of employment law specialists and HR consultants work closely with you to understand your operational needs and help you assess requests from a legal and practical perspective.
We help you apply the Flexible Working Regulations 2014 (as amended) in a way that works for your business, offering bespoke advice on whether and how a request can be accommodated without disruption.
You’ll receive practical support in handling each stage of the request: from reviewing the initial application, consulting with the employee, responding formally, and dealing with appeals if necessary. If you need to decline a request, we ensure it’s done lawfully and with minimal risk of a dispute. And if you feel that training would be beneficial for your managers to ensure it is delivered correctly, that can be arranged as well.
We can also review or draft your internal policies to ensure you’re prepared for flexible working requests – especially as the legal landscape evolves, keeping you ahead of the curve.
